Okay, I'm doing the Cinnamon Tea! I will update.

Okay, it's 8:23pm and I just brewed cinnamon tea. I used 5 sticks, 5 cups of water, and 5 dashes of ground cumin. I boiled it all together until it was really dark. I just put it into my 16 oz mug with 2 sticks, 2 splendas, and 2 Red Raspberry Leaf tea bags. (I've been drinking RRL tea for weeks trying to tone my uterus.)

As of Thursday morning, I was still only at 1cm with a high cervix. I just checked it now and can barely reach it, so it's still high. I will be 39 weeks as of midnight. I'm trying to induce b/c my hernia has split back open and it's HORRIBLE! It feels like a pulled muscle underneath my boobs. I can't get any relief, so I thought I would try the cinnamon tea. Especially since bouncing on a ball, sex, and "me time" to contract m uterus is not working.

This is my 4th pregnancy, so I'll let you know if it works or not!

How do I tag you?

Btw, it tastes really good! I drank almost my 1st 16 oz. and I'm bouncing on my ball at the computer. So far, nothing...

I was at the grocery store and found 'Red Raspberry' Tea. Didn't specifically say 'LEAF'... I'm guessing they're the same thing, are they?

Okay I drank another 16oz cup, w/o the RRL tea in it. I have not felt a single contraction. I have peed about 5-6 times though. some stuff on the web says it can take up to 12 hours, so i will keep my fingers crossed.

My hubby is a pharmacist and he just gave me the "I told you so" look.

@alilboulding I ordered my RRL tea from Amazon really cheap. I believe it HAS to say LEAF. My tea doesn't even taste like raspberry.

moodymommie

does the tea help thin you out? im due monday & still high thick and 1cm.. i need to become favorable to get induced! i been having contractions but need to thin out!

9:10am

We had sex, making sure I O'ed, tons of nipple stim. and I maybe only had 3 contractions all night. (Which probably came from sex.) I checked my cervix this morning and it's still so high that I can barely reach it.

I'm calling this one busted. Hopefully, it'll work for someone else!

@moodymommie I don't think it thins you out, just tones to make the contractions work better/ faster. I have no idea if it'll work though.

moodymommie

dang..i need to get low too! i still look high up >:[ im tired of ppls opinions on when im giving birth i feel like being in isolation untill she comes out.
